I'm running the first starter this fall. Maybe I'll tack this on to the end. :D

I don't think I made it 90 seconds from when I saw it posted in the One Ring Facebook group to hitting "Order." I had them ordered even before I got the notification email from Free League. I, too, have a Starter Set problem.

If I lived in Sigil? Sensates. Hands down. The drive to experience everything in the city would override any other dogma. Real world me? Free League. Not much of a joiner, this one, and like Groucho said, "I wouldn't want to belong to a club that would have me as a member."

I didn't see a "need" for minis in 1st edition, and I ended up with a bunch of The Loyal Subjects "Easter Egg" Aliens I found on clearance, so if I'm running Alien, I'll be using those guys and little green army men. My PCs can deal with the fact they're neon. We'll just pretend it's...

I mean, downloading a free mini just made me 100% more likely to open the app and see what I can do with it. And it gave me the excuse to "Sync my Entitlements*" and update my dice, because I always forget to do that. *I still find this wording to be hilariously a "First World Problem."

As a kid: the Time of the Dragon boxed set. (ETA: And the Dragonlance Adventures hardcover, as I read it before I'd finished Chronicles or read Legends.) Today/now, like @Mercurius, pretty much anything from Free League, but Vaesen and One Ring are the two I've most focused on collecting/most...

It's doing better then The Electric Slate (I still need to make time to watch both).

Thanks for starting the new thread. Well, I'm in for the starter. I'll probably buy Rapture Protocol and the Core Book later. Unless I decide to swap my pledge to the Xenomorph bundle, which is entirely possible, knowing me. (Since I just dropped Rapture Protocol from my pledge, after looking...

Well, [He dons his thread necromancy robes and hat...] Oooh. I love technical manuals almost as much as I love Starter Sets I'll never play. Cool! Threw that in for my next Amazon order. (And I moved the rest of my response to the new thread.)

Just finished. Ended up liking it more and more as it went on, while the narrative tone/voice still bugged me a bit, the characterization, Xanatos gambit pile-up, and worldbuilding drew me in more and more. And the ending....very "noir"

I remember the 3rd starters (both of them, I think; the ones with the set of painted minis) at TRU, but nothing else during the 3rd-3.5 Era. 4th edition I remember exclusively at Borders and Barnes & Noble, nothing in at general retail. (This is in addition to FLGS/FLCS/FLHS, obviously).

I'm very excited about The One Ring one (still need to run the first one of those), but I REALLY want to see what they do and how they do it with LotR 5E. Unsurprisingly, I consider this money already spent.

Do I have a countdown until the Free League Alien 2nd Edition Kickstarter drops? Yes. Is the first edition starter set sitting on my shelf? Yes. Have I made vauge plans to run a "Halloween Xenonorph Fest" with the starter? Yes. For the last three years? Yes. Have I played it? No. Is the same...

Back in the day, you could buy ANYTHING at Sears. That's awesome; I fully admit I could just be misremembering. The last time I was in Crown, the last of those chains near me, would probably be when I worked in one in the summer of '98. (I THINK. There's been a lot of...time...since then.)

That is data I'd love to see some day: what stores carried what in the BECMI/AD&D/2E days.
